Stray animals which are brought to the Shelter must be kept for a minimum length of time before they are eligible for adoption. Animals which are given to the Shelter are immediately eligible. The only adoption "fee" is a $50 deposit for sterilization of the dog or cat. That deposit is refundable as soon as proof of sterilization is presented at the Finance Department at City Hall -- either that the procedure was performed by a veterinarian of the new owner's choice, or documentation from the vet that the animal had already been spayed or neutered. If the Shelter already knows that the animal has been sterilized, there is no adoption fee.
